Chain Reaction of Lower Extremity Isokinetic Strength in Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability
Keywords:
Chronic ankle instability, Reaction chain, Muscle strengthAbstract
This study aimed to investigate the correlation of the reaction chain that related to muscle strength of lower extremities in athletes with chronic ankle instability and to evaluate differences in muscle strength between groups. The participants consisted of 46 male soccer players, aged between 19 – 25 years, selected through purposive random sampling. They were categorized into two groups: athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and athletes without chronic ankle instability (Healthy), with 23 participants in each group. All participants were tested the muscle strength of the lower extremities including the ankle, knee, and hip, using an isokinetic dynamometer for concentric/concentric contraction at a velocity of 60°/s. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and Pearson product-moment correlation to examine the correlation. Additionally, Mann–Whitney U test was applied to non-normal distribution variables, with statistical significance defined at P values < .05.
The results revealed a significant difference in hip internal rotation muscle strength between athletes with chronic ankle instability and athletes without chronic ankle instability (p = .04). In terms of the correlation in athletes with chronic ankle instability, no significant correlation was observed between ankle muscle strength and other lower extremities muscle strength (p > .05). This study suggests that enhancing the internal rotation muscle strength of the hip in athletes with chronic ankles necessitates consistent attention in conjunction with soccer training or rehabilitation programs. In addition, further studies are needed to explore other factors interrelated within the chain reaction.
